Different margin for odd and even pages

Hi there,
I am writing a book which will be printed in 2 sided paper. Therefor I will need different margin (left and right) for the odd and even pages.
How is it possible in Pages? I am using Pages 5.2 (1860).
Thank you.
Sebastian.

Indesign & Xpress are professional DTP applications. They can layout pages in any order you can imagine with custom margins. They are also complex to learn & expensive in comparison to Pages.
There is a trial of Indesign IIRC…
https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/indesign.html
Quark also has a trial too…

I expect there may be cheaper 'layout' software that is capable of arranging facing pages correctly (possibly from a single pages PDF export from Pages), but I just avoid apps like Pages if I need a finer level of output control.

Is it possible to have different margin settings for odd and even pages?

Hi guys.
I am formatting a book I want to get printed and it would be very helpful to have different margin settings on the odd and even pages so the text won't fall too close to the gutter (as happened in the proof copy I ordered!).
It's possible to do this on Word, but I can't seem to do it on Pages? Am I missing something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thanks Peter. I upgraded to Pages 5 a while back. I guess my next question is.....is there any way I can downgrade to Pages 09...anywhere I can still download it from?
Seems a bit of a backward step, but needs must

Printing odd and even pages separately (manual duplex)

Hi
I searched the forum and found some similar problems regarding Adobe Reader 8.1.2 : Adobe Reader 8.1.2 doesn't print odd and even pages correctly
This was posted more than a year ago. A few days ago I encountered the same problem with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2. I suspected that it could be beacause of outdated software. I then applied incremental patches up to 8.1.5. But the problem still persists.

The link was about Reader, but I tried it with AA8.1.5 on a 3 page document and did indeed find the same problem. The 1st page printed out, but the 3rd page was missing when printing the odd pages. When printing the even pages, the 2nd page printed out 2 times. The 3rd page never showed up. I think this is what you are talking about. Wonder if they fixed it in AA9?

Odd and even pages

Hello all, Need some help on the xdp that I am working on.
This xdp has 1 Page Set- set to Print on Both Sides.
The first master page is the Odd Pages (Front pages).
The second master page is the Even Pages (Back pages).
There isn't much logic on the Even Pages as it is only static information.
The content on the Odd (Front) pages flow and page number grow depending on the XML data I feed into it. I have explicitly set the content to flow through the content are of the Odd (Front) page only. Problem is, when the data breaks, it still puts a record or two on the content area of the Even (Back) page.
Also, I was hoping that whenever there is an Odd (Front) page, I would assume that it would always have an Even (Back) page, but that is not the case. Sometimes the pages end out on the Odd Page.
I would like to share the xdp along with the xml that I am working on to this posting. Is there a way to upload this information. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The trouble is that when you have repeating objects they will continue in the container as new instances are added. When the page overflows, Acrobat/Reader is creating a new instance of the page, in which the new instances of the repeating object can be rendered.
I had an example earlier that "jumped" a section, but in reality what it was doing was when the first page was full, it started to use a similar repeating instance on page3. Here it is, but you will need to have a close look at the script, as this was not annotated: https://acrobat.com/#d=0-YvJ8UcVW7Pyc4hhg3RmQ. It is a bit of a rough workaround, based on the height of the subform (see the click event of the add button on page1).
You might also be able to get a conditional page break to work if the height of the rows was always the same.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Different Header for First and Subsequent Pages with Summary on last page

The data in report can vary from 1 to more than 50 rows (order lines). The header on first page is detailed and the header on subsequent pages has only some fields (whenever data is large). There is a summary section which has to be on the last page of the report only and that too at the bottom (just above the fixed footer in the report).
So, for a single page report the the detailed header, all lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer has to be printed.
For a two page report - first page will have detailed header, some lines, fixed footer and second page will have short header, remaining lines, summary at the bottom and then the footer.
For a three page report the summary has to be on third page only and so on.

In a word processing document, select your object, place it where you want & then go to Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. To place a different repeating object, you will need to insert a section break.
With page layout documents, each page is a separate section, so there is no section master. Objects placed on one page don't repeat.

Form letter: different margin to 1. and 2. page?

Is there any possibility to build a form letter with different layout of the margin of the first and the following pages of the letter?

I think you can use the report package function "SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(variable)" to get the page number and then control the layout as you wanted.

How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer. I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it. When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled. Why? I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled? Is it my printer driver?

I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC. I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign. I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums. But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
Here is the quick version of what to do. I am not including every little step with pictures. =) (I can if there is interest.)
1. create your document
2. Print Booklet
3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures. This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides. So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper. It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option. If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
4. Click on Print Settings to pull up a second dialog box.
5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer) Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed. Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit. You must do this. If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file. You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog. Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File. Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
Breathe as you are almost home. You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
Now,
1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility) Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
3. Click on PRINT
4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size but the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you. You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
6. OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection. You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone. Explore. Enjoy.
7. You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
8. Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip. Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.

I am writing a book and need to have the margins alternating left and right pages, so that there is sufficient margin for the binding. I have tried different inside and outside margins, the same inside and outside margins, facing pages, changing the master, and I cannot get the margins to alternate at print time. The larger margin is always on the left. Can anyone please help me on this, as I have spent hours and lots of ink.

Set up as facing pages with a larger inside margin.

Odd and Even Headers in Pages 5

I think this has been asked before, but is it possible to making different odd and even-paged headers in Pages 5? I can't figure it out.

You can take this to be the answer for most things Pages 5…
… No!
Use Pages '09 instead.

Setting mail with Cox (or other services with different servers for pop and smtp)

My Cox mail account uses different servers for pop and smtp (my personal ISP 1&1 does too).
The mail applet on my Blackberry Curve 8330 with Verizon does not allow to define different servers for pop and smtp, and further, for SSL smtp mail, the port is fixed at 995 and cannot be changed, while Cox (and 1&1) want to use 587 or something like that.
As a result, I can only receive mail with these services.
I also have yahoo mail, which works fine, so I can send mail with it and it is not a life-and-death situation, but I would like to be able to just reply to email sent to my Cox address.
I called Verizon and they said BlackBerry provides the mail access through their servers and the applet, so there is nothing they can do.
Is there a way to set it such that I can not only receive but also send mail through either of these services?
Thanks in advance,
Didier
PS: Other than that, the Curve on Verizon rocks!!! so much better down here than AT&T it's not even funny.

OK, thank you for the input.
The problem I have with this solution is like the one I have now using yahoo.
There are 2 problems:
1) mailing lists want the mail to come from the account that is subscribed, so if the cox account is subscribed, I can't contribute from the blackberry, and if the blackberry account is subscribed, I don't get my mail in Outlook. Neither is good for me.
2) people who send me mail to the Cox account and get replies from me from the blackberry continue responding to the account that can send from the blackberry (not Cox), and from that point on I do not have that mail on the computer.
The issue of having two copies is no big deal, I just delete the mail I do not need. I would rather have two than none.
Really, Blackberry should modify the email service so that they directly support mail systems like those of Cox and 1&1. I am sure there are others. They should also allow the use of another port for SSL than 995. I have not seen anyone using 995 for SSL.
Until recently, I had a BB provided by my employer, and we had a BES, and that worked really well. I would like to emulate as much of that functionality as possible without having to pay somebody another $10 or $20 a month just for the priviledge of having an account on a private BES server.
Anyway, thanks for the exchange and suggestions.

Trouble printing odd or even pages

While i can print all the pages (1-701) using reader if i try to segregate them and print only the odd or even pages (to save paper by running them thru a second time on the opposite side) no matter what i do only 8 pages print and and reader spools thru the rest but fails to send the information to the printer to continue printing

As far as I know this feature is not driven by the application but by the driver.
If your driver offer this feature you may use it.
Of course, if it doesn't you can't apply it.
As you are asking to end users like you, don't expect that we know every available drivers.

Is it possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages ?

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages. I am using Thunderbird quite often with both emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.
I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish both sounds as they do not imply the same things.
Thank you very much.

Printing odd or even pages

I'm using a Cannon 3600 printer capable of printing either odd or even pages of a long document when used with MS Word on a PC. However, with Pages on an iMac no such offering seems to be available. Is it possible to do this with Pages 09?

As far as I know this feature is not driven by the application but by the driver.
